Cohen’s page-turner traces the story of Samuel Zemurray as he goes from penniless Russian immigrant to head of the United Fruit Company. A complicated character, he was key in both the creation of the State of Israel and the toppling of Central American governments.

Whether seen as resource or burden, immigrants figure centrally in America’s public discourse. As Election Day nears, a panel examines historic perspectives and contemporary debates regarding immigration policies.
